I really love these glasses, however, getting them to arrive safely can be quite a chore. Two of three sets arrived shattered (two seperate shipments). In both shipments they were packaged in the same manner that Amazon packages books - works fine if you ARE a book, but it doesn't cut it for things this fragile. I'm giving them a 5 star because they are unique and attractive, but beware: the glass is EXTREMELY thin and will very easily break.

My first order for these glasses arrived with one broken glass. Amazon quickly sent a replacement. I was initially thrilled with them as I had been looking for insulated drinkware that was a step up from plastic. But, my enthusiasm quickly faded. After a week or so, the bottom of one glass cracked simply from being filled with ice cubes. Then, a week later, the second glass cracked in the dishwasher. They're simply too fragile for everyday use. I sent Bodum an e-mail with my comments but they never replied. Great idea, poor execution.

I bought these glasses and thought I would have to wait a month for them to come in stock. I didn't they came about 2 weeks after I ordered them. They are great! I have some of the plastic cheap type and used them all the time. When I saw that Bodum had the real glass I thought they would look much better then my plastic that is getting to look bad. These glasses will not sweat so you can sit them on a table without a coaster. I love using them for icecream too! Go into the dishwasher great!

One down side in the shipping process. One set was broken. They don't package them good at all in shipping. Have to send one back and cross fingers for the next set not to be busted up!

Just as the first reviewer indicated, these glasses are not packaged very well by the manufacturer. To make matters worse, they are made of very, very, very thin, weak glass. The larger the glass, the greater the chance it will arrive broken. I'll be giving mine away as gifts, if they last long enough.

I bought these glasses as a gift for someone. They really liked the concept, however, these glasses were not very practical -- ie. you cannot wash them in the dishwasher, must be hand washed, and the glass breaks very easily. The gift recipient broke 1 of the 2 glasses almost immediately.. and he was hand washing it!

These thermo coolers arrived safe and sound and on time. Also, they function as advertised. Keeps the beer cool here in Phoenix.

I ordered 2 sets of 2, canteen style Bodum glasses. They sounded like such a good idea, lovely design. Well, I never got to try them. All four glasses arrived smashed to smithereens, hundreds of pieces of glass as if they had exploded. Part of the problem was almost no packing in the box, however, I think they would have arrived broken anyway. This glass is practically paper thin, almost thin as a Christmas ornament. What a disappointment. Supposedly, I'm getting a full refund. Save yourself the hassle.
